Jermaine Jenas exclusive: Hoddle would be a better option for England than Southgate

Amid all the questions and recriminations, the one certainty to emerge from England's shambolic exit from Euro 2016 was that the manager had to go.

 As dismal as the performance was against Iceland, you simply don't become a bad player overnight. If you're not led well, and you're told to play a different system to the one you play every week for your team, then that is the type of performance that can happen.

Roy Hodgson persisted with a 4-3-3 formation in France despite the fact that virtually everybody in his squad plays 4-2-3-1. His loyalty to certain players cost him, and it cost England.

From about 15 minutes into the second half against Iceland, England were literally playing off the cuff.

I've been in that position myself as a player, and what you do is rely on someone to somehow get you out of it. That's why England were hitting shots from distance and trying to dribble past players. Meanwhile, all the team's shape and any patterns of play got lost. And ultimately, that is the manager's fault.

The Raheem Sterling situation was bizarre. I saw more from Marcus Rashford in the few minutes he was on the pitch against Wales than I did from Sterling in the whole tournament. It made no sense to not play Rashford. I just don't think Hodgson had the balls to make the changes that were required.

As for the players' futures, in the past any goalkeeper that has made one mistake for England at a major tournament has rarely been seen again. Hart made two big ones - one he got away with and one that cost his team. So I'd be very surprised if his position was not under threat.

Harry Kane had a poor tournament, but I still expect him to go and bang in 20 goals for Tottenham next season.

As for Sterling, if he can't get it right in the next two years playing under Pep Guardiola, then I don't know what the future holds for him. He's about to get the best education of his life as a footballer, so hopefully he learns a lot from it.

But the biggest question now for England is the one of who replaces Hodgson.

The problem the FA have is that a lot of the world's top managers, those with the experience of handling top players, have accepted jobs elsewhere. The likes of Carlo Ancelotti and Jose Mourinho, for example - not that they would have necessarily taken the job. So the options aren't great.

The FA's experiences with Fabio Capello and Sven-Goran Eriksson mean we probably won't go down that road again anyway. Although having played under both those managers for England, I don't think it should be ruled out.

Capello's problem was that he refused to adapt to the English mentality and way of life; he wanted to change us to his way. But you can't turn the English into Italians by changing their diets and locking them in rooms. His issue was the way he alienated the players, rather than anything tactical.

As for Sven, I believe he did a decent job.

I'm guessing the FA will play it safe and give Gareth Southgate the job. But personally, I'm not interested in an "FA-trained" manager taking over. Southgate has done a great job for the U-21 side, but that's not the same.

England U-21 manager should not be a direct route to being the England manager, and it shouldn't be seen that way. There is no connection between the two. I view the U-21 manager as more of a stepping stone to becoming a league manager, whereas England manager is as big as it gets.

The one man out of the current candidates who knows that better than anyone - because he has already been the England manager - is Glenn Hoddle.

I know he has been out of the managerial game for a long time, but I certainly think he would be a better option than Southgate.

I know Glenn from a spell when we were together at QPR, and also from working with him as a pundit, and he sees the game differently to a lot of people. He's innovative and very intelligent - on and off the pitch - and that comes across whenever you speak to him.

Putting aside the controversial manner in which Glenn left the England job last time around, all I've ever heard from the players who have worked with Glenn is that tactically he is excellent.

There's not a player in the dressing room who would look at Glenn Hoddle and not respect him, given what he was a player and the fact that he did a good job the last time he was in charge of England.

And that's the one massive thing I believe Hoddle has to his advantage. He knows what's coming, there will be no shocks - and that could be worth its weight in gold.

We'd all love a second opportunity in life, another swing of the bat. Even as a footballer - if I could start my career again there are little things I'd change.

Maybe it's time to give one of our former England managers that chance.
